just because a dev studio found a way to do someting new with the cell doesn't mean its suddenly easy to work with. any one who says its easy is lying to themselves. yes it possible but when compared to PC and 360 its difficult. it requires lots of time and money to get a decent port. and valve isn't talentless they're 40 people that don't have time to spend on a Ps3 port that and they don't like the cell. nor sony.mayceV
Writing good multithreaded code is hard, period - the PS3 is just somewhat more dependent on it than the 360, itself somewhat more dependent than the PC. Eventually, everyone's going to have to bite the bullet and do it, though - the days of a single super-fast core aren't coming back any time soon.

its a fact.. Dice, Infinity Ward, Square and Capcom are top rate 3rd party devs that can develop for the PS3 no problem and have the PS3 versions look and run just as better and in some cases than the 360 version. On top of that all the 1st/2nd party devs that develop games for the PS3 that is unmatched on other consoles in terms of visuals and overall presentation and even gameplay. If this was 2007 i would completly understand devs having a hard time to develop for the PS3. But if after 4 years and you still arent good enough to develop for the PS3 then frankly the game doesnt deserve to be made by such devs for the PS3. the best 3rd party devs in the business like Dice, Infinity ward, Square, Bioware and Capcom can all develop for the PS3 with no problems whatsoever. No excuse why some devs should be scared and/or lazy to develop for the PS3.SocomChris50

PS3 owners are consistently complaining, do you guys play games or get mad at the world all the time.

[QUOTE="alextherussian"]So Valve is talentless?VanDammFan

IF they dont develope for Sony because its too hard for them or they dont want to pend time learning a newer more advanced system...Then yes, yes that would make them talentless.

or maybe it costs money to port a game and they did some calculation and found out that porting would end up costing them more money then its worth, or almost no point to port it as it would make very little or no money for them.

When Sony was able to release consoles that entering into year four that were upwards to 60 to 80 million consoles sold, then sure its worth developing for.

But with 33 million consoles out there; and an attach rate that makes me wonder how many of these things are being used solely as blu-ray players, if I was a developer I would ask the simple question of: Why Bother?

And considering that we are entering year four, and the graphic difference between the PS3 and 360 is meh on the best of days; why bother breaking your back developing for the PS3?

I don't know about you but their engine is outdated it's not even funny anymore, talk about the most milkage around the industry.

Same engine for every goddamn game they make with different coat of paint.

I doubt it's much esier to develop for now than it was 4 years ago, maybe the devkits have improved somewhat but the basic problems are the same. And if you haven't developed any PS3 games in the meantime, like Valve, you would be starting from scratch, and that's a big investment.
